A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR 
The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isn’t that. 
Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a newer, fast-growing part of the RAC, built to deliver planned, structured repair and servicing directly to members - from their driveway to their workplace car park. 
There are no emergency callouts, no unpredictable shift patterns and no roadside recoveries. Instead, you’ll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work.   

What to expect 

Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre‑booked, with the member expecting you. You’ll carry out: 
- Routine servicing 
- Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment 
- In‑depth repairs you’d normally complete in a workshop 
- Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection 
- Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards 
And because SMR is structured, you’re not reacting to breakdowns - you’re delivering planned work that you can prepare for. 
From day one, you’ll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. You’ll use your technical skill and problem‑solving ability to get people moving again; safely, quickly and confidently.  
 
Why SMR is different (and why techs love it) 
- Planned appointments instead of emergency responses 
- Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands 
- In‑depth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes 
- Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in 
- Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform 
It’s the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol. 

What you’ll need
Either:
NVQ Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) with 2+ years’ experience 
or
5+ years’ experience as a Vehicle Technician/Mechanic
and
A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points

No CV required when you apply and it takes just 5 minutes – it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.
